Pros

Great benefits and flexible work hours

Cons

Company is flocked with non technical Managers who do nothing except politics to keep their jobs and favoring people who speak their language. Company should get rid of such people seriously. If you do not know how to engage in very close friendship with your Manager, you get stalled.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
